Digital cameras:
I suggest 12 canon powershot SD970’s or the equivalent, with a spare battery (always charged and ready to go) and at least a 2 gig card for each one. 12 means we can have students working and learning together instead of waiting for equipment, which stops student work. Plus we can all share.
Camcorders: If we ever think we may (at some point) be adding mac computers for video editing, we need to make sure that what we buy now will be compatible with both platforms.
Question: are the student laptops (and ours, too…) going to have firewire ports? If that has not been included as part of the package we need to make sure camcorders have ports for firewire for the mac as well as usb for windows. Another BIG consideration is many camcorders do not come with a port to add an external microphone, and a mike will be important! So we need to make sure that the chosen model has a mike port, as well as a headphone port. Condenser microphones with their own power supply work well and we will need those, too. We will also need headphones!
I suggest Canon VIXIA HG20 60GB HDD. No firewire port but I think we can still get footage into a mac. Need to check this out more. How many? 6 would be doable in a class (plus 6 condenser mikes and 6 headphones). 6 also gives us flexibility for multiple classroom usage.
